Castle Swimmer, Volume 1 by Wendy Martin
5.0

This story is about Kappa, a beacon that grants prophecies, and Siren, a prince that has to kill the beacon in order to save his kind from a curse. I read this first on Webtoon and was pleased to find out that they released it in book format. I'm glad that the formatting was so well done, since Webtoon is a story shown vertically by scrolling, and now the story is on paper, which requires some tweaking. This first volume starts the story off slowly, focusing on Kappa and Siren, their growing relationships, but also their individual worries for the future and their « destinies ». Both characters have immense pressure put on their shoulders since birth and have to live with the guilt of wanting to choose their own path in life. I can already tell that the next volume will have a lot of action, so I can't wait to see it!

Thank you Netgalley for the eArc. These are all my honest thoughts and opinions.
